Question

69.   At the last committee meeting,the motion that the club ______ open until midnight was defeated.
a.remains b.remain c.remained d.would remain
请讲明原因

Answer 1

b.
其实应该是should remain,但是在美国英语之中经常省掉should.
“在最后一次委员会会议之上,俱乐部一直开门到半夜的动议被否决了.”
motion同suggestion,request等词一样,后面都应接(should)+动词原型结构,这是虚拟语气的一种情况.
